Warriors are better main tanks. Period. They scale better with gear than a pally does. Early on, a pally has much more shield block. Once the warrior catches up in that stat, and they will with gear, it's no contest. Warriors have no mana and can tank for an infinite amount of time at their full threat potential. They can also taunt, which is useful on some bosses.
Paladins AOE tank much better than warriors. They can also off-tank and MT if called upon (for most fights) but they are in no way superior to warriors.
And in reality, to make Iit work at all, you are popping a good 200-300 gold a raid (not including flask). That is not possible for people that have full time jobs on a true vanilla server unless the guild throws gold at them.
I tanked as a pally for about a year on ED. His name is Czernobog. He's pretty much BIS through BWL besides trinket.
Prot's are really good at what they do. There is no need to force them into doing things that warriors are flat out better at. You can be useful in your own role.
Now, let's all be friends?

They scale better with gear than a pally does.You can't say that warriors scale better with gear than paladin because we don't use tier compare to them who are chasing the tier sets .
In fact Paladins get much easier gear than the warrior since they are in high competition.
Early on, a pally has much more shield block. Not true at all , we might have Block % but not enough Block Value , Warriors win us at early raids due to their Block % ability.
What we benefit is at very end is "Block Value" and more Procs .
There is difference between "Block Value" and "Block Rate" . They have higher Block Rate on few hits but we have high Block Rate on many hits.
Block Value at beginning we are too low since there is no "Block Value Gear" and low "Strength" , But at High end we win because of the "Stats" amount and trinkets/shield combine with 30% increased by Talents.
Once the warrior catches up in that stat, and they will with gear, it's no contest. They win nothing more than just some extra Stamina .
Their high end gear fills their block value which they are missing and are lower than Paladins , but Paladins win on "Avoidance" compare to their "Mitigation" .
The high end Warrior benefit mostly from some extra Stamina. Period.
Warriors have no mana and can tank for an infinite amount of time at their full threat potential.Warriors can Tank but their Threat will so low compare to Paladins.
If Paladin use Spell Damage Weapon+sp ench+sp consumes = Warriors will be history on Aggro nowhere near Paladins for infinite time.

There is no need to force them into doing things that warriors are flat out better at.I have already made list where Paladins are Flat out better than Warriors.
Garr = Single Paladin Maintank can do the job of 4 Warrior Tanks and 4 Warlocks combined.
Sulfuron Harbinger = Single Paladin Maintank can do the job of 3 Warrior Tanks.
Ouro = Single Paladin Can AOE all Trash and Tank the Boss at same time.
The Prophet Skeram = Paladin can Solo Tank Boss together with his Clones.
Broodlord = Where this is Warriors Main Aggro Issue , Paladin is doing 3 times more Aggro and Damage Dealers don't have to wait at all.
Neffarian = Paladin's don't need Berserker Stance and Holy Damage can still increase Aggro when Boss use Paladin Class Call.
Thaddius = Paladin increases it's Melee and Spell at a same time with the debuffs, this affect extremely his Threats compare to Poor Warriors so Damage Dealers can go crazy nuking.
C'thun = Paladin Can Tank the Claws at p3 and Heal at same time.
Kel'Thuzad = Exorcism is the best "Taunt" anytime when boss does his Mindcontrol and wipe out everyone's aggro, Meanwhile Warriors have enormous issue because Boss is immune to Taunt.
Onyxia = Aoe babys + immune to Taunt <3.
Marked the High End Bosses which are clearly most important.
I am up and enjoy to see people play Prot Paladin , i share everyones knowledge and i try to help everyone how to .
Sadly some sexy preachers like ihealwpvp telling us humour and telling us how horrible we are. Therefore he has 0 knowledge about it.
